Menopausal Doctors Helping Women Feel Their Best
Menopause is a natural phase of the aging process for women that happens when their body reaches the end of their fertile years. Natural menopause begins after a year without a menstrual cycle and usually occurs between the ages of 40 and 60.
Surgery such as the removal of the ovaries or a hysterectomy, and chemotherapy can cause early menopause. Premature ovarian failure can also result in early menopause for some women.
How Dr. G Medical Solutions Treats Menopause
Menopause requires no medical treatment. Instead, treatment focuses on relieving your signs and symptoms and preventing or managing chronic conditions that may occur with aging. Our best doctor of Menopause uses the following treatment to care for women.
- Hormone Replacement Therapy: We prescribe estrogen, which is the most effective treatment for hot flashes and bone loss prevention. Our doctors in Texas carefully evaluate risks and benefits before recommending this option.
- Vaginal Estrogen: To treat vaginal dryness, discomfort during intimacy, or urinary issues, we recommend estrogen through a cream, tablet, or ring.
- Low-Dose Antidepressants: For women who cannot take estrogen, doctors may prescribe certain Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) at low doses to help reduce hot flashes and improve mood if needed.
- Gabapentin: Our doctor may recommend gabapentin as an effective option to reduce hot flashes, particularly nighttime symptoms. It is helpful for women who can’t use estrogen therapy.
- Osteoporosis Treatment: To protect bone health, our menopausal doctors may recommend medications to prevent or treat osteoporosis, along with vitamin D supplements to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk.
